These are the rants and raves of a stubborn-headed, midwestern, baby boomer, liberal, wife, mother, and grandmother. My goals are to speak my mind and educate others about some of the events in our world.

"...Pistol Whip..."

A conservative radio host says that the Catholic nuns who have
embarked on a nine-state bus tour to protest the injustice of Rep. Paul
Ryan’s (R-WI) proposed budget deserve to be beaten with a handgun
because they “threw the first punch.”

“There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby
against the Ryan plan,” radio host Jan Mickelson told Rep. Tom Latham
(R-IA) last week. “Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the nuns
on the bus over and pistol whip them?”

“They say he is evil, they say he is fake Catholic,” he added. “They’re the ones that threw the first punch.”

I continue to be amazed at the lack of respect that Republican and conservative men display toward women. Rush Limbaugh, Jan Mickelson, Tom Latham, and the rest of the Republican clowns need to show respect to women, whether they are mothers, nuns, or single women. This has all gone too far. Shame on them.
